Applications of domain decomposition methods to turbomachinery flowsDomain decomposition techniques can be used to great advantage by computational fluid dynamicists in computing flows about complex geometries and adapting the grid to the solution. These techniques are particularly useful in computing flows about several bodies that are in relative motion such as rotor/stator configurations in turbomachinery or helicopter rotor/fuselage configurations. This paper discusses some of the basic ideas involved in transferring information between subdomains in a multidomain calculation and presents results for a simple rotor/stator configuration.
